The stock list, set in plates a chair can read before coffee cools.

Toolkitcraftcore draws occupancy, passing rent, lease events, and lot mix for UK asset managers. We work from the tenancy schedule you already keep — not from a screen that claims to run the fund.

A commission, not a subscription screen

Most of our work is a portfolio dashboard commission: a finite set of annotated charts and estate maps bound for one fund, one committee date. If the plates earn their keep, some managers then ask us to redraw them each quarter from the new rent roll.

Portfolio dashboard commission

For mandates of roughly thirty to eighty lots we sit with the asset manager, reconcile unit names against the schedule, and draw the views the room actually uses — occupancy, like-for-like income kept apart from stock change, WALE that does not hide a dominant covenant, and lot mix by both floorspace and rent.

Valuation opinions stay with your surveyor. Live feeds stay with whoever runs the ledger. What you receive is print-ready pages and two large maps, with one revision against committee comments.

The same studio will map a single park, set acquisition plates against the existing mandate, or write the captions the chair will tolerate.

Quarterly board pack drawing

The same plates redrawn each quarter from your updated rent roll, so the committee sees movement rather than a one-off snapshot.

What managers said after the pack landed

These notes refer to named kinds of plate — WALE, like-for-like, estate maps — not to a general impression of ‘professionalism’.

They redrew our WALE so the break options sat in the short band. The chair stopped asking why the ‘average term’ felt safer than the conversations we were having with one logistics occupier.

The like-for-like plate finally matched the lots I keep in the ledger. I still think they could have warned us earlier that our March disposal would force a full reprint of the mix pies, but the second pack was clean.

Short pieces on how we treat WALE, colour keys, and East Midlands lot mix — written for people who already live in rent rolls.

Drawing WALE so a single tenant cannot hide

A weighted average lease expiry that looks tidy can still rest on one covenant. Here is how we split the bar before it reaches the committee table.

Like-for-like income and the lots you sold in March

A rising income line after a disposal is not a miracle. It is a change of stock. This note sets out how we keep those two stories on separate plates.
